Equipment Description
This safety cage, a.k.a. Man Basket, is for use with a forklift. It is designed to be fork-mounted and chained to the forklift carriage.
The Forklift Safety Cage from WSD Manufacturing was designed to lift a person safely with a forklift without the need for an expensive scissor lift. The all-welded steel safety cage meets OSHA requirements with a 42” high handrail (from the top of the platform). A self-closing swing gate allows for easy access when climbing in, but the inward push of the gate on Bluff Manufacturing’s safety cage prevents the person from pushing out of the cage accidentally. The cage was designed with a kick plate at the bottom to help prevent feet or items from slipping off the edge.
